From Hells Angels and BBC’s “Stacey Dooley Investigates” to YouTube Kids and “The Heart of Trade" with Maersk

Visual storytelling in itself isn’t anything special anymore. Today it is simply the shared language of the Internet. Everyone’s posting videos, memes, etc. and as a result there is an overabundance of digital content out there competing for the global audiences’ limited attention.

So how do brands, publicists or media companies rise to this challenge? Attend this 2-hour session to find out.

Ronni Madsen has invited 3 international industry leaders to join him on stage. On the basis of their own experiences all 4 speakers will challenge you to reevaluate the relevance and potential of your message – and provide you with key takeaways on how to identify, develop and tell engaging stories that actually matter.

As you will learn, there are many types of “mattering”. The appeal of your message can be emotional, rational or something else entirely, but basically you are always trying to appeal to a “me”. Each person consists of many me’s with different wants, needs and aspirations, so which do you activate and how?
